Here is my fantastic swap from Pajama Princess


Could not resist putting him or her in the flower bed as you can see He /She hopped around a bit
I have the same dies but in a mini set that I nearly used for my swap
I showed it to my granddaughters and they were arguing over who could have it, I told them Nanny does not share her swaps lol
Thank you so much Pamela
It will be coming out every Easter
Just like My Christmas wreath you made me a few years back

He looks great in the flowers with the sun on him! It?s an SVG file from Etsy and all the layers are meant to be laser cut from wood. I liked it in the coloured card stock and nearly kept it for myself LOL!

Cute! Bet you granddaughters will love it.

Yesterday I discovered a torn and very sorry looking padded envelope in a place where the postie normally never leaves things. Fortunately the contents appear unharmed and what a treat I had in store!



The front cover with the most amazingly detailed embossed butterfies.






The first two pages with cheeky little bunny and birds.






The next two pages with seed packets and tulips.





The next two pages with seeds and shiny wheelbarrow and watering can.





The last two pages with a jam jar of flowers and a tree full of blossom.







And the back cover. The papers used throughout are just gorgeous, I love them, and I am very impressed with the binding rings.

I couldn't find a signature on the book so we must all have a guess who created this work of art. I'm sure we all have a good idea who!

And this temptress also included a bag of ganache filled dessert eggs. How am I supposed to resist them until Sunday?

Many many thanks for this!

I don?t think Jan is into making books so I think it?s Pink Pig.
It?s beautiful.

I was concerned when the postmaster at my local branch started trying to shove the envelope through that mock letterbox thingy they have before I could stop him , not once but twice, but I think he was trying to get me a cheaper deal! I was concerned what state it would arrive in but it looks OK. The binding rings are from HunkyDory that I bought on a special deal from HobbyMaker and I was thinking you could easily recycle them for making a new book Borderline as they sell the punch to make the hole separately at ?6.99. I have a large arc punch that I got from Staples when I was still working and needed to make easy presentation books which is a lot simpler to use .Whether you are using bigger rings or these smaller ones the hole is the same. It’s easy to change the order of your pages if you want to and cheaper than buying Paula’s die sets although I like her system too.Enjoy the chocolate eggs! The paper is Graphic 45 , I am getting better at using it rather than just looking at it .

Wow another amazing book from PinkPig
I am lucky to have a few of these lovely books that have received from PinkPig
They have their own box and the granddaughters love flicking through them as well has the huge box of other swaps
PJP is right I am not into making books because I would not have the patience or skill

No skill required LJ, just the tools and Graphic 45!
